We have an investment property, that we bought 18mths ago for our daughter and her family to live in. The house was built in the 60s and relocated in the 90s, most of the power points were installed sideways (earth pin horizontal), some with broken switches, there's a light in the shower instead of centred in the bathroom, the stove is wired into the fridge circuit instead of its own and no cut off switch installed, just to name a few non compliant items found. We currently have an electrician making everything compliant and safe, adding safety switches and getting everything working properly (fan controllers half working, toilet light fitting not working) etc.
My question is this - can we claim this as repair/maintenance or is it capital works or a mix of both? I'm asking so that if I need a more detailed invoice, I can ask now rather than after the fact.
Thank you for your help with this.
